This discussion comes shortly after Niger’s announcement to withdraw from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), citing interference in its internal affairs. Despite this, Niger has surprisingly expressed its willingness to continue participating in the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF), a key initiative for combating terrorism and ensuring regional stability.
In a statement released by Acting Director of Defence Information, Brig Gen Tukur Gusau, both parties underscored the importance of ongoing dialogue and collaboration to address mutual security challenges and strengthen their strategic partnership. They highlighted the need for sustained cooperation, including joint military operations, intelligence sharing, and tactical coordination.
The Defence Chiefs also addressed the issue of small arms proliferation, recognizing its role in regional instability. They agreed to intensify efforts to curb the illegal flow of these weapons and to collaborate on improving border security and supporting regional and international control measures.
Both nations committed to resuming and enhancing their cooperation to ensure regional stability and security. Niger reiterated its readiness to reengage with the MNJTF. The Chief of Staff of the Nigerien Armed Forces accepted an invitation from the CDS to visit Nigeria, where they will finalize the cooperation details and establish a Nigerien advisory group to work with its Nigerian counterpart. This advisory group will focus on addressing mutual concerns and maintaining communication between the two countries.
Additionally, the CDS made a courtesy visit to Nigerien Deputy Minister of National Defence, General Sani Kache.
